“Cambelt International is committed to providing exceptional value, producing innovative designs and building long-term customer relationships to become a trusted supplier to many industries that require high quality, reliable conveying equipment,” said David McReynolds, Managing Partner at Five Crowns Capital. “Pacific Mercantile Bank’s experience working with private equity sponsors and manufacturing companies enabled their team to efficiently conduct their due diligence and put together a credit facility that met the needs of all parties. The credit facility facilitated our investment in the company, while also giving Cambelt the financing needed to continue growing the business and creating value for its stakeholders.”
